Lisa’s Week In Review: 1/1/18 — 1/7/18

Hi there! Welcome to Lisa’s Week In Review. This year, on Monday, I’m going to post everything that I watched, read, and listened to during the previous week. Since I love to make lists, I’m hoping that this will encourage me to see more, read more, and listen to more this year than I did last year!

I’m happy that 2017 started on Monday, which is also the start of the week. I like it when things are neat and orderly like that. For the first three days of 2018, the temperatures in DFW were below freezing though, unlike the rest of the country, we didn’t get any snow or ice. Around Wednesday, the temperature got up above 32 degrees and the last few days have actually been wonderfully pleasant. Of course, I spent most of the week lying on the couch with a cold.

(I’m ashamed to say that, over the course of last week, I watched over 60 different movies and TV shows but I only read two books. This will change in the future.)

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (1953) — I found a copy of this at Half-Price Books last week. The copy that I found once belonged to a student named Ashley and she filled the margins with notes about her friends Taylor and Sidney. At the start of the book, they were best friends. About halfway through, she suddenly hated both of them but, by the end of the book, they were friends again. Yay!

You’re Ok, Your Cat’s Ok: How to Establish A Meaningful Relationship With Your Cat by Marcus Schenk and Jill Caravan (1992) — This book is full of helpful hints on how to get along with your cat. Of course, it’s also full of pictures of cute kitties, which is the main reason we own it.
